Me is now a.... We!

It's happened! Yes you guessed it. Steve and I tied the knot! I know.. finally.. It was very special. We had to push up the date as many of you know due to Steve's PCS (permanent change of station) orders. We had the ceremony performed by a local minister. A lot of our friends wanted to attend but Steve and I both agreed that we wanted it to be just us. It was a special moment we that we wanted to share between just the two of us. We'll have our bigger wedding/celebration once we get to Arizona and get settled. Thank you Jennie and John and the rest of the family for the gift card! We're thinking (or at least I am) MICROWAVE!!!!

Oh Dear...

So as some of you may or may not know.. Today was the day Steve and I had set to get Married. Well... As many of you know one must get a license before getting married. That wasn't the easiest of tasks this week... between work and all my medical we couldn't get down during their business hours. Poor Steve doesn't even have a shirt! I had the dress and all... So we are waiting to hear what dates he is given at his briefing and we'll make a decision then. Sorry all!

There's something Wrong With Us

And now for another installment in the things you may not know... I couldn't think of anything better coming up on what was supposed to be my original ETS (day I was getting out) date than quoting Stripes, one of my favs. If you haven't seen it... You must. Another recommendation. Bill Murray at his best I think. Laughs all around.




"We're all very different people. We're not Watusi. We're not Spartans. We're Americans, with a capital 'A', huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts! Here's proof: his nose is cold! But there's no animal that's more faithful, that's more loyal, more loveable than the mutt. Who saw "Old Yeller?" Who cried when Old Yeller got shot at the end? Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot? I'm sure. I cried my eyes out. So we're all dogfaces, we're all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army. We're mutants. There's something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us - we're soldiers. But we're American soldiers! We've been kicking ass for 200 years!"

A quote from a most awesome movie that I had to post... If you don't know what this is from then I am sad for ya! Kidding it's from Stripes; totally recommend it.

Some Camping Shots

So Karen posted some shots of camping so I thought I'd finally get around to posting some of mine. So off I go!

Ivy posing with one of the millions of flowers she had to find.

Karen just smiling away.

Could it be... Mrs. Me?

So I never thought it would be this fast. Now those close to me know all about Steve getting moved to AZ. Well sooner than we ever thought... he got his orders. His report date is 10 August. Which means if we want to go together we get to push up the wedding like super super super early... We've picked a date of July 10th! Yay!! It's so fast but we are so happy. We are still having a wedding celebration in AZ for the family out there! We will still do the silly lovey-dovey pictures out there and try and get a few here (you know me with a camera). Smooches all!!

Zombie killing... Lady-like?

So I have a new interest to add to my tradition! On my recent trip to Arizona I found a interesting book that I had to read.

Who could resist that cover? I had to find out more! So far it is a lot like the other version if you've read it, except imagine zombies ruining the fun. Nice. Instead of girls practicing their curtsies, it's the unique skills of dismembering a zombie! Truly a remarkable novel. Of mention, if you haven't read this book:

On one last note if you ever find yourself and your family in the position where zombies are knocking at the door and there are precious few moments to spare? Enter the Zombie Survival kit! Combined with the Survival guide, you and your loved ones are sure to survive to undead horde!

Welcome to the Crazy Bunch!

So I'm back from my AZ va-kay and missing the family already. I am glad to be home though with my honey. For those of you who don't already know, Steve and I are engaged!Yay! I saw this commercial on TV and thought to myself... hmm... I'm marrying this loony? Why yes he will fit in perfectly with the rest of us! If you've heard the stories of Steve and his video game... issues.. this will make sense. Thought it was pretty funny. The Second video cracks me up too! These are alot like the video that I posted earlier to describe Steve's unique characteristics... he's gotten better though. That game was returned. :)

I'll be posting pics of camping soon! Had a great time!

Hmmmm...

Not really too much to report as of late. I've just been super crazy busy in the emergency room. Still loving it BTW and more everyday. I'm getting ready for my trip to AZ to go camping with my family. I am super excited to finally get some leave and go home to see my family. So more blogging and pictures when I return on the 24th!

New Traditions

I've decided that I will routinely (like monthly or weekly whatever I have time for) talk about stuff people may or may not know about me!

This weeks installment was actually unknown to me until yesterday. I love the movie "The Legend of Bagger Vance." Now it's surprising because I hate Golf. I suck at put-put and the regular game. That story about the club slipping out of someone's hand mid-swing? That was me. Well anyway there is this one part in the movie that makes me tear up everytime.




The movie has Golf in in but uses it as a way for a man who has been to war to truly find his way home and to find himself. Some people may find it boring but I love and recommend it to anyone with a free second. The music is beautiful and I love the time period it was set in.
So there ya go. Bet ya didn't know I loved that movie! More to come!
